The ravens on mighty Odinn’s shoulders sit,
At daybreak to Midgardr they depart,
To eye all tidings of men they’ll there see,
Hugin and Munin, night after night

Review: Super Win The Game

The first thing you may think when playing Super Win the Game is “pure plagiarism.” The sprites seem pulled from the source game – they have been subtly altered so they aren’t sprite copies, but the inspiration is obvious. Super Win borrows environments and elements from several well-known games.
Seeing the trailer for The Last Federation filled me with excitement. Seeing a diverse space world of nations going at it, while not new, seemed refreshing based on the gameplay. However I feel I may have hyped myself up too much for this.
Violence of the lambs… I’m sure that pun has already been mentioned, but it’s not too far off what occurs in Team 17’s Flockers. After being used by the Worms in their own games for various degrees of destructive warfare since the series’ creation in 1995, it seems the sheep have finally had enough and are attempting to break out en masse out of a Worm Sheep Processing Plant (Unofficial title) full of exposed giant buzz saws and crushing weights to the green pastures of freedom.
